Bristol Motor Speedway kicks off its Saturday Spectacular Series April 5 with a potential starting field of up to 99 cars in the Frank Kimmel Street Stock 150.

The 150-lap Street Stock event will be staged by nine-time and defending ARCA champion Frank Kimmel. Cars, which will start the race in rows of three, competing in the event must be stock-appearing American made models built between 1960 and 1988, powered by all-cast iron engines no larger than 410 cubic inches.

Kimmel launched his Street Stock Spectacular in 2007 at Kentucky Speedway to rave reviews from fans and competitors alike. Now, the series moves to Bristol Motor Speedway, where nothing like this has even been attempted.

That same day, BMS will hold a trailer race, another first for the half-mile oval. American-made stock cars will pull trailers around the Speedway in a survival of the fittest in what should be a fan favorite. And before the end of the day, Bristol’s own Randy Moore will bring his War Wizard Monster Truck into the arena to crush at least one big bus.

Opening the day’s activities will be a 30-lap Thunder Roadster race.

A pit pass for the entire event is $35. Grandstand tickets (general admission) are $15 each. Children 12 and under will be admitted free with a paying adult.

Practice will be held throughout the day April 5, along with qualifying. The Thunder Roadsters will take to the track at 3 p.m., followed by the Frank Kimmel Street Stock Spectacular while the Trailer Race will cap the afternoon of racing.
 
Grandstands will open at 2 p.m. while the pit gate will open at 7 a.m.
